Abstract

This research study investigates the impact of parental
gender on parenting styles, abilities and perceptions, and
aims to discover whether the link between them exists.
Semi-structured interviews were conducted using a
convenience sample of three heterosexual parent couples
and two homosexual parent couples of children under ten.
Participants were questioned on their parenting views, and
how they would respond to particular given scenarios.
The responses from both genders were compared to
deduce an answer to the research question.
The findings showed inconclusive results; a mixture of
similar and differing styles and opinions in relation to
parental gender were revealed.
The results highlighted the existence of some traditional
and stereotypical gender roles and views. However, it also
showed that roles have swapped in some cases, and
there are views, styles and behaviours from Mothers and
Fathers that are contingent.
Furthermore, the findings of this demonstrate that it is not
parental gender alone that influences these, but that it
goes along with other contributing factors.
